Will look at making new grip's, white maple may be, it's going to be a light colored wood for sure.

Had a pair of Colt SAA's with pearl grips and consecutive serial numbers. They were a work of art!

It went easier then I expected. I ordered a set of 'pearl grip' from Thailand, look great and fit is very ok, not perfect but ok, they are a bit shorter and the holes for the screw on the right side is not at exact distance, but it does the job. Here are some picture. I must say that for this second 1911 I'm very satisfied. Much easier with a dremel.

There, took me about 30 minutes with the dremel. At a point I was not shure if the sanding would show up true the resine, got lucky can't see a thing true :D yes. Being a bit to short (bottom) doesn't show to much... first picture... 8)
